A Shabby Thanksgiving!

Sunday, November 16, 2014

Hi blogging friends. I've been busy chalk painting a few projects around the house and wanted to share my creations. First, I needed and wanted to repot my Christmas cactus but needed a pretty pot. I chalk painted a huge terra cotta, with a little lace! Second, my big comfy Ikea chair needed a side table, I chalk painted the outside white and the underside a pale pink with this cute basket to match full of pumpkins. Third, I had this shutter taking up room in the garage so I chalk painted it a pretty yellow. One of my most favorite finds are these porcelain birds, they are dated, numbered and signed, "Lefton 1957". You know a mother turns her back and her babies have left the nest, which is what these beautiful hand painted birds remind me of. My son will be hosting Thanksgiving this year but wanted to set my table for all my blogging friends. I'm so blessed to share my Thanksgiving with my family and even though some of our family are not with us and have passed away, they will certainly be with us in our hearts and minds! Some of the things I am thankful for, Family, Health and I am truly a Blessed....

I started my blog to stay busy through my grief, unemployment and empty nesting. I love making something beautiful again. "Sometimes you may not be picked to join the bouquet, so be your own single beauty". My words, and making the world beautiful one post at a time.

Deborah I love this twist on not your ordinary Thanksgiving colors. Your side table is just darling and perfect by the chair. I love, love the birds! I have been wanting to find large shutters. Have had to pass up two pairs that at the time I found them I could not get them home. Hoping to find some a bit closer. Your mirror collection above your mantel is gorgeous as well! Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.hugs,Jann
